! In order to listening to HD audio with this receiver, connect an HDMI cable, and use analog video cable for
video signal input.
Depending on the player, it may not be possible to output video signals to both HDMI and other video output
(composite, etc.) simultaneously, and it may be necessary to make video output settings. Please refer to the
operating instructions supplied with your player for more information.
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables
(page 29 ).
! When connecting to a DVD player with an optical digital audio cable or a coaxial digital audio cable, perform-
ing input terminal settings are necessary (page 62 ).
Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or other set-top box
Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The
Input Setup menu on page 62 ).

! If HDZONE is set to on, video images connected using a video cable or component cable are not output from
the HDMI terminal. To output video images, turn HDZONE off (page 93 ).
! If you use an optical digital audio cable or RCA (analog) audio cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digi-
tal input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Setup menu on page 62 ).
! If your set-top box is equipped with an HDMI output terminal, we recommend connecting it to the receiver’s
HDMI SAT/CBL IN terminal. When doing so, also connect the receiver and TV by HDMI (see Connecting using
HDMI on page 29 ).

! Even if your set-top box is equipped with an HDMI output terminal, in some cases the sound is output from
the digital audio output (optical or coaxial) and only the video is output from the HDMI output terminal. In this
case, make the HDMI and digital audio connections as shown below.
